Do you all think twinking will take off in classic? If so what level will you be twinking? Or do you think there are not enough leveling players to maintain the lower brackets? I know many of you are working on your twinks now. Discuss…
It already has. I’ve run into a number of twinked 19 Rogues. Come BGs, we’ll probably see a lot.

It’s going to be the most fun brackets because there is no epic gear separating us and the toolkits of most classes come out toward the teens and 20s so you’re good to go pretty much. I think I’ll probably have a 29 twink tbh mainly because there is more options with talents and builds

If they released low level bgs we’d have a landslide of people doing them.
Lower brackets are usually the most maintained, don’t know how many 59 twinks we will see, seeing how I have only seen them in tbc and beyond.
Av will prob have no shortage of 50s in it.
I’ll have:
ALLIANCE
19 Rogue
29 Paladin
39 Mage
49 Paladin
HORDE
19 Rogue
29 Shaman
39 Mage
49 Priest
…gonna take a long, long, long time but I’m slowly grinding it. Have 12 Level 19 accounts right now.
What’s the point of twinks when lvl 60 already feels like twink pvp?
In phase 2, it will make sense for twinks to hang around and optimize low 40s to farm honor and kills since they can kill undergeared/suboptimally geared 30s, 40s and 50s while not counting for honor to a level 60.
Easier to get BiS or close to BiS.

I make twinks because using a character slot for a level 1 bank alt is such a waste, and if I’m going to make tradeskill alts (which I am), might as well do something with them (e.g. gear them out for BiS in Battlegrounds).

i’m sure there will be some of this… just like there was back in the day. but don’t expect to see them until bg’s show up. as people only use them to cheese pvp.

Working on 19 here. Just got my trailblazer boots last night. Along with minor runspeed.
Already have Venomstrike, lil timmy’s pea shooter, Crescent Staff, Cruel Barb, Taskmaster axe, Forest leather bracers, Blackened Defias Chest, Lizard Scale cloak, Talbor Mantle shoulders, Green tinted goggles, deviate scale gloves, deviate scale belt, leggings of the fang, Trailblazer boots, and Lavishly jeweled ring.
I have fishing and engineering maxed out. Cooking is at 170. First aid is at 150. (Gotta farm some silk)
Picked up herbs to help my alchemist make my pots. Pretty sure I’ve done the quests I needed to. Going to double check that before proceeding. (Might get the two belts available horde side. Just cuz)
I’ve explored most of what I think I need to. Going to do another exploration run to be sure I didn’t miss anything.
Then I’m off to camp Gurabashi arena for AGM. Come phase 4 I’ll be fishing for my Lucky Fishing hat and Nat Pagle extreme angling boots.
Not sure it I want to stay 15 and camp it or level to 18 and equip some of this shiny gear I have in the bank. It really is killing me seeing it sit there. Lol.
So close I don’t want to mess it up.
Anyone know when Minor Recombubulator is being added?
29 will be my next project if I don’t do a 19 priest first. Having a twink account seperate from my main is so nice. I can do all of my own dungeon runs.
I really hope twinking becomes a popular pastime. I’m hoping for full twink vs. Twink WSG battles!
Oh and I have to get to Furbolg Village to grind that rep for Medicine pouch. Whew. Still so much to do!

There are going to be a ton. I expect there to be even more than vanilla because people will give up leveling alts - especially after the first, and definitely after a second 60. Gear is so incredibly important at 60 that you’d have to raid on every character you want to pvp with. I don’t see many people running multiple characters through BWL, etc.
That’s why you gear out a X9 and just have some fun. You always have the best gear, etc. It really allows the casual player to enjoy classic pvp.
I’m leveling my team with rest experience now. I like the 39/49 bracket because characters have a lot of their skills and can get to the end of one talent tree. It isn’t all hunter/rogues, etc. They are pretty easy to gear up as well.

Twinking on a separate account…
I like how you think. I might have to look into that.

It’s well worth it. You can stay in party and just log your twink out to avoid XP. Also. For things like the Horde Presence quest. You can stay out of party, lead your twink to the area killing everything in your path with your main to avoid XP. Avoid XP! (Don’t forget to party up before the elite) I hope to have the entire bar clear when I hit 19! I am not accidentally out leveling a bracket again!
Lil tip. In WC leaving your twink at the start will still get you loot rights from Serpentis and The Everliving.
I would clear to the bosses and then log onto my twink anf either run to the boss or go pick him up with my main. Watch for respawns. WC has the evolving slimes and deadmines has overseers and those mage dudes that respawn. You can also just kite the boss to the beginning but either way. Avoid XP gain every chance you get!
Play with it. If you check your twink’s log you can get an idea of how far away from the boss you can be and still get loot rights but warch those respawns!
The first time through WC i just kept him on follow so he could loot the gems and the glowing shard from Mutinous. At 10 a level or two won’t matter much. As long as you get everything done that gives XP before 19! I had all the bop gear by level 14.
Get the quests you need done asap and explore everywhere you think you may go. If you’re a town tink it won’t matter. I’m going for some wpvp on fishing day and maybe Stonetalon and ashenvale.
He was only level 10 (which is when you can enter dungeons) when I started the dungeon grind.
I got the Rake as soon as I hit 10 and then started the quest chain For leaders of the fang. Only items that took multiple runs were Venomstrike (ran right to Serpentis so these runs were faster) and Blackened Defias Chest.
Tldr. I love twinking. Avoid XP gain. Sorry for the long post guys but there’s a lot of detail.

There will always be players who can’t play against other players with their full kit
Tons of people came back to classic just to twink.

There will always be tons of players telling others how to play as well. Oh and tons of players who don’t/won’t put in the work (at every level) but are quick to look down their nose at those who do.

it’s gonna be huge. it’s more accessible as every is documented and some classes are just more viable in particular brackets.
Already got a couple Assassin’s Blades looking to sell at some point, gonna start getting other stuff soon. The question is, when’s the market going to be best? I’m guessing over the next couple months before the ah is flooded with them, right before phase 3’s release date is announced… Not sure.
I actually feel like twinking is going to be crazier this time around, people already know what to farm for before there are BG’s, and people know all the things needed to make the perfect twinks for each class. its going to be kind of interesting to see, as skill is going to become more important for the low level twinks.
